Centre of Excellence

We have an award-winning in-house 'Training Centre of Excellence' where we train 100% of our staff before they work on behalf of our clients. This training centre comprises of full banqueting facilities, a fully equipped bar and a kitchen for trade-testing our Chefs.

We have a coffee machine to test and train baristas. Our training covers every element and style of hospitality from team service to silver service.

Evolve Hospitality are delighted that these facilities have been recognised as a Quality Marked Training Course for 2016 to 2018 by People 1st.

By working with the Academy of Food and Wine Service and investing in our staff through our free training, we aim to change people's attitude to the hospitality industry as a whole. We want it recognised as a chosen industry rather than a stopgap, by providing the most skilled staff consistently.

Yen Chong, Learning and Development Manager, Harbour & Jones Ltd: "Thank you for having me on your class on Thursday. I was impressed by your warmth, professionalism and ability to connect with the participants. Your honesty and how you approach potentially tricky subjects (e.g. “I hope you don’t mind me checking your dress/shoes, etc”) made the participants feel at ease. I’m sure we’ll get a chance to work together on projects in the future!"

Daniel Moriss-Jeffery, Education and Training Manager, Academy of Food and Wine Service: "Evolve Hospitality saw the potential of becoming an Academy Centre of Excellence for Banqueting and have taken it upon themselves to deliver agency staff trained to Academy standards time and again.
